I sat by Saige’s bedside holding his tiny hand.
Many thoughts wandered through my mind.
Worry plagued me.
Would Saige fear being pregnant?
Does he know anything about pregnancy?
Would his frail body withstand the birth and pregnancy?
For now, at this moment I would have to approach this matter cautiously with my mate.
I didn’t want to lose him, or our pups. It killed me of the thought of losing him.
I placed a kiss on the palm of Saige’s hand.
Breathing in his scent.
I laid my head beside his legs and closed my eyes, waiting for my mate to open his eyes.

The following morning I was woken up to a hand lightly running its way through my hair.
I snapped my eyes open and lifted my head to see my mate looking down at me with loving eyes.
“You’re awake! How are you feeling?” I asked as I sat up and placed a kiss on his forehead.
“I’m okay. I feel a little funny, but I’m okay. What happened?” Saige asked, confused.
“Well, I want to be honest with you my angel, but I don’t want you to stress or get worked up okay?”
Saige tensed and I could smell his fear slowly rising.
“Relax, my angel. You’re okay.” I smiled.
I felt the fear lessen but not fully.
“We we’re on our run last night, we almost got to our first point on the run when you collapsed in pain. You shifted back and I noticed you were holding your stomach. So I rushed you here.”
I trailed off, hesitant to speak my next words.
“What happened? What did the doctor say was wrong with me?” Saige looked at me confused.
“You’re pregnant my angel. We are going to have pups.” I breathed out.
I looked at Saige waiting, my heart was hammering in my chest.
Saige sat there staring at me, his emotion unreadable.
“Say something Saige. Please.” I begged.
Saige stared for a few seconds. Looking in my eyes but I could tell the gears in his head were going a million miles an hour.
Tears started to well in his eyes, and his face turned a deep shade of red.
“What’s the matter my angel?” I jumped up and sat on the bed with him pulling him to my chest.
“Did… Did I make... a mistake? Are... you going… to reject me now?” Saige sobbed.
I grabbed his face in both of my hands and pulled him back forcing him to look me in the eyes.
“You listen to me my angel, and you listen well.” I said in a stern but loving tone.
“I am not going to reject you. EVER! I want you. I want our pups. I want this. You are worth everything to me. Nothing about you could ever be a mistake.” I leaned forward and captured his lips with mine. Slow and soft at first until I heard a moan escape from Saige. Then my kiss became demanding, leaving us breathless.
Saige gasped for air when I pulled away. His eyes fluttered open, looking back at me.
“But there is one thing you need to know, about the pups, my angel. The doctor mentioned that you’re carrying twins, and due to the shift, it put one of the pups in danger. They might not make it.”
Saige tears began to fall again. I already knew what he was thinking.
“This is not your fault my angel. Neither of us knew you were pregnant, otherwise we both would not have let this happen.” I kissed his forehead again. “We just have to keep you stress and strain free for the next 4 months.”
“4 months?” Saige asked, confused
“Yes my angel, you’re a luna, pregnant by your mated alpha. Your birthing speeds faster.
Now I’m going to call the doc back to go over another check up.”

Saige sat up on the hospital bed, eating his mashed potatoes. Drinking his orange juice, when Jacob walked him.
“Alpha, Luna.” Jacob said as he slightly bowed towards Saige.
“What’s up Jacob?”
“Well, the pack is really worked up right now. They’re all worried about their Luna after the run.”
Jacob said as he looked over at Saige and smiled.
I looked over at Jacob and then back at Saige as I smiled.
“Would you like to give Jacob the news, my angel?” I said with a smirk on my lips.
Saige looked at Jacob and flushed red instantly.
“We… I… I’m pregnant.” Saige said to Jacob, and here I thought Saige couldn’t get any redder.
“OH MY GODDESS!” Jacob shouted.
He walked over to Saige’s side and knelt down one one knee taking Saige’s hand in his.
“It is an honor to serve you, my Luna.” Jacob smiled at Saige.
He lifted his hand and brought it right over Saige's stomach, stopping just above.
He looked over at me.
“May I?” Jacob asked with excitement.
“You may.” I knew what he was going to do.
“Hellooooo little baby! Uncle Jakey can’t wait til you’re heeeere! We’re gonna get in so much trouble together, squirt!”
“Babies.” I said aloud. Jacob turned towards me confused.
I grinned widely.
“Twins,” Saige said softly.
“Awesome!” Jacob breathed out with excitement.
Saige laughed.
Beautiful.

The next day Saige was cleared to leave the hospital. So I helped him dress in sweats and a tee.
There was a simple knock on the door before Jacob pulled it open.
“Alpha, my Luna.” He said bowing slightly at Saige.
“What’s up Jacob?”
“Well, I know this isn’t a great time but there are a few things I need to go over real quick.” Jacob Said as he pulled out his phone.
“Go ahead.”
“Okay first on the list, The Alpha Summit. it’s coming up soon and preparations are being made, but you need to visit the omega house and go over the program.”
I heard a low pup growl emit from Saige, and I chuckled.
“Don’t worry my angel, I’ll carry you everywhere I go. I know how much you hate for me to be away.” I say to Saige as I place a kiss on his forehead, his growling stops.
I looked back at Jacob, “Continue.”
“The meeting for the pack has been scheduled in 30 mins from now. Also Cassidy demands a, and I quote, ‘fatass baby shower’.” I laughed so loud.
“Cassidy wants to throw our pups a party. A HUGE party.”
Saige bounces with excitement.
“Last order on the list. Birthing classes.” Jacob looked over at Saige and lifted his eyebrows.
I chuckled at Saige’s curious face.
“Let’s get the meeting and the omega house off the list before, my angel here, learns everything there is to know about being a mommy.”
Saige looked up at me with a small smile and I brought my lips to his.
“Come. Let’s go announce our pups to the pack.”
